The Wheel of Liverpool, Observation wheel at Albert Dock, Liverpool, England.
The Wheel of Liverpool is an observation wheel standing 60 meters tall at Albert Dock. It features 42 enclosed capsules that rotate for 15 minutes, offering views across the Mersey River and the city's skyline.
The wheel opened in February 2010, replacing a previous observation structure at the site. It marked the evolution of Albert Dock into a modern leisure and entertainment destination.
The wheel sits within Albert Dock, where museums, shops, and restaurants frame the restored waterfront setting. Its location makes it a natural meeting point for visitors exploring the city while staying close to other attractions.
Each capsule holds eight people with windows providing clear views in all directions. It is best visited on clear days when visibility is good for seeing across the water and city.
A VIP capsule with a glass floor and leather seating offers a distinctive experience. This capsule allows you to look straight down at the water beneath, creating an unusual perspective during the ride.
